stab the dog and run rod up over its

say he was going to build house on
some land he owned. and he went and
stuck up half dozen rods OH it with
the same crooks they would have had

He made the man pay for them, too.
He told him he could put his buildings

Undoubtedly sentiment is grow
ing up in this country to enforce the
division of property in families when
the head dies 1t is regarded as un.
democratic that large fortunes should
be perpctuated from generation to
generation. Various propositions
have been made to limit tho amount
OF money any heir might receive
from all estate. A committee Of the
bar Of Illinois urge the enactment Of
q law by which no member of o family
can receive more than $500, 600. Then
it is proposed to tax lesacies and con-
fiscate to the State certain portion OF
the wealth of very rich people when
they die. This way Of cutting down
large fortunes is far moro popular
than the laying of an income tax. It
certainly seems strange, if not un.
natural, that free democratic COM
munities should afford better oppor
tunities for the creation of vast for
tunes than is possible in more pater-
nal and despotic governments, such
as obtain on the Continent of Europe.

Free England and Democratic
America lead the rest Of the world
in very rich men. The free play OF
modern industries and the absence Of
a paternal government favor the
growth of enormous fortunes Ill the
Edglish-speaking countries. Outside
of the few Jewish bankers, such as
the Rothchilds, and Herr-Krupp the
great gun maker, there are very few
millionaries on the Continent. of
Europe. Iu Prussia Herr Krupp has
an income of 100000 marks, about
81 ESQ, 900 of our money, OH which he
pays $37 900 tax to the government.
Next comes Baron Rothschild of
Frankfort. with about $6S0,000, and
Baron Bleichreder, whose income is
about 100000. There are only two
other Prussians with an income over
$500, 900. We beat the world in
millionaries. This is accounted for
by the fact that OF the Continent the
railroads and telegraph are owned
mainly by the government, and the
profits on transportation accrue to
the benefit of the national treasures.
In the United States the railroad
and telegraph are in private hands,
and the manipulation of their stocks,
as well as the profits of the business,
goes to pile up the enormous fortunes
of our Jay Goulds, Vanderbilts, Sam
fords, Huntingtons, Sages, not Ito
mention the hundreds of others who
have become millionaries as the re-
suit of manipulation in the stocks
of corporations. 1t may be worthy
of note, in passing, that wealthy real
estate owners, outside Of the AstOr
family, are not very common in this
country. Our laws provide for the
breaking up of great estates upon the
death of the head of the house, and
this puts check to accumulations of
landed wealth in % few hands. But
personal property, in the form of the
ownership Of shares in corporations,
can be better kept together in this
country, and it will be noticed that
in the wills of Commodore Vanderbilt
and his son, VIM. H., provision was
made for concentrating the wealth on
one or two of the heirs. The Aston
estate in New York has been held to-
gether, it is believed, 10y an evasion of
the law regulating the discount of
bonded property. But the time must
come when 1T will he scattered among
all the heirs.-From Demorests,
